Heritage Park Care and Rehabilitation Center has received accreditation for 2014 as a skilled nursing facility performing Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement activities.

The accreditation, presented by independent accreditor Providigm LLC, shows the facility is continually assessing residents' quality of life.

Unlike other such rating systems, the Providigm QAPI Accreditation is based on actions nursing centers take to identify and correct quality problems.
